About The Position

The project manager is responsible for all aspects of project delivery, up to final closure, and ensures the approval of deliverables. They contribute to resource management to achieve the objectives within the defined time and budget constraints. The role involves organizing, directing, and controlling the human, material, financial, and technological resources essential to the delivery of one or more medium- to very-large-scale, cross-functional projects. The project manager is responsible for the project plan and acts as the central point of contact for all contributors involved in the project delivery (sponsor, managers, and other contributors), leveraging their planning and coordination skills.

Client is seeking a Senior Project Manager with 8 years of experience managing complex projects, capable of working independently in a high-visibility, multi-project environment. The context is explicitly rooted in Cybersecurity, with a specialization expected in Cryptography or Identification, Knowledge, and Surveillance (ICSA): either of these two areas of expertise is sufficient to qualify the candidate.

The role is cross-functional (internal and external contributors, sponsor, steering committee), requiring strong political acumen and influential leadership at all levels. The job description emphasizes accountability, governance control, and risk management, indicating an environment with formalized processes and an established governance structure.
